Scouting Report

Assets
  • Possesses tremendous defensive instincts. Is extremely strong in the corners. Has excellent hockey sense. Is willing to play through pain and displays good leadership qualities.
Flaws
  • Is rather mediocre on offense. Isn't great at beating defenders one-on-one. His gung-ho style of play can often lead to several injuries. Doesn't have a goal-scorer's mentality, nor the hands to do so regularly.
Career Potential
  • Defensive winger.
